CEMLA Assembly Meeting
October 14, 2025
Washington, D.C., U.S.A.
Face-to-face format
On the same day, the CEMLA Assembly was held with the participation of 17 associated entities and several collaborating members, chaired by José Luis Escrivá and with Dr. Manuel Ramos Francia serving as Secretary.
The Assembly began with the formal approval of the minutes from its previous session, held in San Salvador on May 28, 2025. Subsequently, the Proposal to Amend CEMLA’s Statutes was discussed, presented by Nabiha M. Sáade Záblah, Director of Corporate Services. The proposal aims to modernize the statutory text, strengthen institutional governance, expand the Center’s objectives, and formalize strategic planning as a guiding instrument.
Although the proposal received 12 affirmative votes, representing 73% of the voting power, it did not reach the required threshold of 75% and 18 affirmative votes, and therefore was not approved during this session. It was agreed to continue collecting votes from absent members and to consider, in future reforms, mechanisms that facilitate proxy or remote voting.
